Here are some fun facts about January babies

Babies born in January have some extra special traits

While it's one of the colder and quieter months of the year, studies and research show that people born in the first month of the year come with a host of fascinating and desirable traits.

January-born males are more likely to be left-handed

One study conducted by the University of Vienna found that men born in November, December, and January have a higher chance of being left-handed.

Considering that only around 10% of people worldwide are believed to be left-handed, that's pretty unique.

They’re more likely to be doctors or accountants 

You may just have a future doctor or accountant on your hands.

According to Life Daily, the two most common career paths for people born in January are general practitioners and accountants. 

On the flip side, people born in January are less likely to become real estate agents, compared to people born in other months

January-born people are creative problem-solvers

This will be super helpful for when your little one starts school.

A 2015 study revealed that people born in January and February happened to show increased levels of creativity and imaginative problem-solving, according to Time.

As someone who has a sister born in January, I wholeheartedly agree with this finding.

January people are less likely to get mood swings

Despite (or because of) being born at the coldest and quietest time of the year, studies have found that January folk are less irritable people and are less prone to mood swings that people born at other times of year.

It may not feel like it when they're crying their eyes out at 4am, but they may just prove this theory right as they get older.

They’re destined for stardom

If your baby is due at the end of the month, they could be headed for Hollywood in a couple of years.

Babies born under the Aquarius sign of this month (January 20th - February 18th) are more likely to have their name in lights, according to a study in the Journal of Social Sciences.

When you think of fellow Aquarius like Harry Styles, Alicia Keyes, and Cristiano Ronaldo, this theory holds up. 

January-born men are more likely to marry October-born women

While the idea of your baby boy being married is decades away, it's still interesting to know he may end up with an October-born girl.

According to the Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research, males born in the second half of January are 2.3 times more likely to marry women born in late October. 

Looks like Aquarius and Scorpios are an instant match!
